It was only an unknown amount of time later that Liora finally stopped and returned to her room.
The moment she did, her consciousness communicated with the millions of Devil Runes outside and urged them with her mind.
The formation was instantly activated.
A faint crimson brilliance enveloped the entire mansion like an egg, forming a dome that resembled a wall of light.
The dome only appeared for a split second. The moment after it materialized, it vanished completely.
No one, including the residents of the nearby buildings or even Alpha herself, noticed its emergence and significance.
Yet, Liora felt reassured.
She knew that the formation had not been deactivated, nor had it failed in any way, resulting in its destruction.
Rather, it had just turned invisible.
As long as anyone dared to infiltrate the mansion, or worse, attack it, the formation would materialize once again and strike at them, even if there was no one in charge.
